I'm glad you found what works for you, Siryus.
I was on Citalopram for about ten, eleven months. At first, it seemed to work well, I felt mentally in line. After taking it for a while, I began to feel really, really disconnected, very medicated. I felt as though I was in a fog most of the time. I would never be depressed, sad, or have anxiety, but it seemed that I couldn't feel joy or happiness either. But I was also scared out of my mind to quit.
About three weeks ago, I bit the bullet and quit. At the same time, I quit drinking (which was becoming quite problematic, not as a drug interaction, but a life, uh, interaction). A week after that, I quit smoking and started exersizing, a short walk every day at first, gradually going a bit farther, quickening the pace. Now I feel the best I've ever felt, and my mental issues only rarely am I able to notice.
I always thought "If I could just get some pills, it'd be okay." I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but don't be afraid to try something new. Don't let the "crutch" get bigger that you.
Not that this is completely pertinent, but...hey.
